About Book: A vicar with a taste for sweets. A nun with a knack for trouble. A deliciously diabolical crime…

When Annabelle meets her friend Mary, she expects tea and cake. What she gets is a double helping of murder.

Armed only with a note, a disappearing dart, whispered rumours, and a love of sweets, this quick-thinking, quick-footed holy woman must piece together the clues, pacify a dogged detective, and find a killer… before she and her friend both wind up in jail.

Part Sherlock Holmes, part Miss Marple, Annabelle is a new kind of sleuth, with an appetite for cakes and crime. If you love solving puzzles, then this suspense-filled yet endearing cozy mystery is just for you. Annabelle's jaunt around London will keep you guessing until the very end!

My Thoughts: Entering Alison Golden's literary realm through "Mardi Gras Madness," "Death at the Cafe," and "The Case of the Screaming Beauty" was like stepping into a cozy haven for mystery lovers. All books are part of a series but can be read alone. You are enveloped in her narrative embrace, I devoured all three in rapid succession, each page offering a delightful escape into a world where suspense and comfort perform a delightful dance.

Golden's prose is a comforting melody, smoothly flowing through the pages like a warm cup of cocoa on a chilly evening. Her characters, crafted with endearing charm, feel like old friends, and the quirky storylines add a touch of whimsy to the mystery genre. It's as if each book is a puzzle, and Golden masterfully weaves clues into the fabric of her tales, inviting readers to join in the delightful unravelling.

Alison Golden's signature style creates an atmosphere that's not just engaging but warmly inviting. It's the kind of writing that makes you want to curl up in your favourite reading nook, sipping your favourite warming drink, and losing yourself in the unfolding mysteries. If you're a fan of cosy mysteries, Golden's books are a must-read. A delightful blend of charm, suspense, and warmth, her stories will leave you eagerly anticipating the next inviting adventure.
